Exegesis
A second vav introduces arevah {עָרְבָה | ʿā-re-vāh} as the predicate quality of shenatecha {שְׁנָתֶֽךָ | šə-nā-te-ḵā} ‘your sleep’. The parallel imperfect/perfect structure emphasizes both the act of reclining and its secure, restful outcome, which English mirrors by preserving sequence and emphasis.
In context — Proverbs 3:24
When you recline, you will have no fear; and as you lie down, your sleep will be pleasant .
